Courtesy Lamps
When either door is opened, several interior lamps
go
on. These lamps
are
courtesy lamps. They make it easier
for you to enter and leave your vehicle.
Courtesy lamps include the dome lamp and other lamps
throughout
the
interior of
your
vehicle.
To prevent battery rundown, your interior lamps will be
disabled about
10
minutes after the ignition is turned to
OFF.
The 10-minute timer will be restarted if you do
any of the following:
1.
Turn the ignition on.
2.
Open either door.
3.
Press any button
on
your
remote keyless
entry
transmitter.
4.
Turn the interior lamp switch from
off
to on.
5.
Open the hatch.
Delayed Illumination
With delayed illumination, the courtesy lamps will stay
on for
25
seconds after you close the doors when
entering the vehicle. They will stay on for five seconds
after you close the doors when exiting the vehicle. The
times will be shortened if the ignition is turned
to
RUN
or if the power locks are activated.
